Poi! Hito Natsu no Keiken!? LE + Bonus - New, In Stock

A few years ago, Konami and other publishers woke up and realized that girl gamers needed love too. For years, interactive dating games were designed solely for a male audience where virtual romance was in full bloom. Konami broke the convention however with Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side and other publishers soon followed suit.

Idea Factory takes a breather from the super-serious Spectral Force franchise by releasing Poi! Hito Natsu no Keiken. As you may have surmised, it's a dating game designed for girl gamers who'll get to interact with two girlfriends and five boys who sort of look like girls. All of the guys in the game have feathered hair and are lanky which means they've been cut from the same ideal template. The protagonist of the game is a ninth-grader who plays basketball and spends the summer interacting with friends and perhaps gets a chance to confess her love to someone. The game system focuses on natural conversations with the cast in the game which lead to choices that affect the course of the storyline. All orders will include a bonus Drama CD which contains a short episode featuring the voice actors from the game.
